A video game company is designing a game based on professional race cars. Professional race cars have a length of 570 cm and a w

idth of 180 cm. The company wants a scaled image of the race car to fit within a rectangle on the game screen with a length of 13 cm and a width of 4 cm.
​ Part A -Knowing that the maximum width of the rectangle is 4 cm, what scale factor would result in the largest possible race car width that fits in the rectangle?

​Part B -​The video game company wants the width of the car on the game screen to be no smaller than 3 cm. What scale factor would result in the smallest possible image of the race car that meets this additional specification?

Answer:

  A) 1/45

  B) 1/60

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

The actual car has a length to width ratio of ...

  length/width = (570 cm)/(180 cm) = 57/18 = 3 1/6

The rectangle on the screen has a length to width ratio of ...

  length/width = (13 cm)/(4 cm) = 3 1/4

Relative to its width, the screen rectangle is longer than necessary for a model of the car. So, the scale factor will be determined by the width of the car relative to the width of the screen model.

For a model width of 4 cm, the scale factor is ...

  model/life-size = (4 cm)/(180 cm) = 1/45

__

<u>Part B</u>

For a model width of 3 cm, the scale factor is ...

  model/life-size = (3 cm)/(180 cm) = 1/60

Jim and bill each invest $15,000 into savings accounts that earn 3.5% interest. Jims account earns simple interests and bills ac
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Bill will earn more interest

He will earn $ 20,448.67 from his investment

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly let us calculate Jim's earnings based on simple interest

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r

a decimal

r = R/100 = 3.5%/100 = 0.035 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 15000(1 + (0.035 × 25)) = 28125

A = $28,125.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $15,000.00 at a rate of 3.5% per year for 25 years is $28,125.00 for Jim

Now let's us calculate bill's investment based on compound interest

Equation

A = P(1 + r)^t

A=15000(1+0.035)^25

A=15000(1.035)^25

A=15000*2.36324498427

A = $ 35,448.67

We see that Bill will earn

$ 20,448.67 from his investment

How do you find the median of a data set when you have an even number of values?
natima [27]

Answer:

If there is an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two numbers in the middle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median of any set of numbers, put them in order from smallest to greatest. If a number occurs more than once, list it more than once. The number in the middle is the median. If there is an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two numbers in the middle. For your first example, we line them up: 3, 6, 6.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

A(5,1)B(7,1)

\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2} ) ^{2}(y_{2} -y_{1}x^{2}    }

AB=\sqrt{(7-5)^{2} +(1-1)^{2} }

= \sqrt{2^{2} } =2

BC=\sqrt{7-7^{2}+(6-1)^{2}  }

=\sqrt{5^{2} } =5

perimeter=2(AB)+2(BC)

= 2(2)+2(5)\\

= 4+10= 14

-----------

hope it helps...

have a great day!!
